Observation details
This bird was smaller than the other birds on the beach today. (Elegant Tern, Western Gull, California Gull). The body shape looked more like a tern than a gull. The bird did not turn to show its head, and I could not tell the leg color. (I would appreciate any suggestions for what it might have been.)
